When comparison shopping for a refrigerator, you compare three almost identical options, just varying by power and price: Cost Power Rating Mr. Bean Fridge $750 800W SuperCool Fridge $650 780W Ice Cold Fridge $700 675W On average, the cost of electricity is 18.4¢ per kWh (hint: energy can be expressed in kWh instead of J). Which is the more cost-effective option if you plan on keeping this fridge for at least 10 years?

You are in the market for a new refrigerator for your company's lounge, and you have narrowed the search down to two models. The energy-efficient model sells for $1,700 and will save you $45 in electricity costs at the end of each of the next five years. The standard model has features similar to the energy-efficient model but provides no future saving in electricity costs. It is priced at only $1,500. Assuming your opportunity cost of funds is 6 percent, which refrigerator should you buy?
